1/27/10 Your Cell Phone May Be Hazardous to Your Health

"A handful of Jim's colleagues had already died from brain cancer; the more reports he encountered of young finance guys developing tumors, the more certain he felt that it wasn't a coincidence. "I knew four or five people just at my firm who got tumors," Jim says."

I am a firm believer that the planet Earth needs about 2 billion or so less human predator inhabitants, and that humans themselves will never voluntarily curb population expansion. Perhaps technology will provide the answer to the population/resource-consumption problems. Earth quakes, as deadly and painful as they are to those affected and to those who have access to TV news, are unlikely to suffice.

The article is moderately long, but worth reading unless you are one of the three people in the US who doesn't use cell phones, but even then there are other problems perhaps to the whole "advance" in wireless connectivity.
